That was a great play! Wow!

Great idea for a thread. Highlights without having to watch sportscenter.

I've never seen a play quite like that, you should have seen his team mates reactions in the dugout.

Nice job GYC, love that play.

[Guest GYC]

And wow, that Taguchi throw was freaking insane.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Taguchi's throw was amazing. It's the kind of play that when you first see him throw it, you're mind thinks "Oh shit!". Then when you see that it is actually a good throw and isn't into the stands or dugout, you jump up and proclaim it a great play. Dread to delight in an instant.

I cringe in pain every time I see Hernandez bouncing up and down on the grass.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Kind of had a lot more time than he thought he had though, didn't he?

I don't want to hijack the thread, but those words reminded me of a throw that did just that - and more. Gino Cimoli tried to throw out a runner heading for third and the right fielder threw the ball into the upper deck behind third at Ebbets Field.

We now return you to the original thread. But maybe there should be a thread for really bad plays.

I don't see a link to a Taguchi play on that page.

Tad Iguchi, not So Taguchi.

Very nice, impressive throw! woulda sucked if he'd clipped his army on the ground there...

[metirish]

thanks metsmarathon.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, I kept thinking, "Isn't Taguchi an outfielder?" But it was late.
